Ingrediants
For the cold soup
- 20 ml of maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon of untreated lemon juice
- 80 ml of coconut milk
- 80 ml of soy yogurt
- 30 g of nettles or spinach
- 100 g of avocado pulp
- 50 g of kiwi pulp
For decoration
- 50 g of coconut flakes
- 100 g of strawberries
- 100 g of kiwi
Materials Needed
- Glass blender
- Chopping board
- Knife
Preparation
- Wash the spinach in water and baking soda, then rinse and dry them with the help of a salad spinner.
- Peel two kiwis and cut them into cubes or slices.
- Cut a ripe avocado in half, lengthwise, removing the inner core. Remove the peel from one half and cut into cubes.
Alternative ideas
As an alternative to baby spinach, nettles can be used. Nettles are known for the characteristic of being stinging plants: in fact, in the leaves of nettles we can find hollow stinging hairs (trichomes) which, upon contact with the skin, act like needles releasing itchy molecules (including histamine).
Soaking nettles removes stinging chemicals.
From a nutritional standpoint, nettles are rich in fiber and protein. From a vitamin point of view, Vit. A, Vit. C. Vit. E and B1 are included.
Among the minerals, however, a note of merit goes to iron, calcium, potassium, manganese.- Combine the avocado in a glass blender, add a kiwi, soy yogurt, baby spinach, coconut milk, a spoonful of maple syrup and a spoonful of lemon juice. Centrifuge everything until you get a rather thick cream.
- Pour the cold avocado soup into a deep plate.
- Wash the strawberries and cut them into slices. Proceed with the decoration by arranging neatly the kiwis, the coconut slices and the strawberries, thus obtaining the tricolor effect of the Italian flag.
Alice's comment - PersonalCooker
Would you like a touch of crunchiness? To complete this sort of fruit “gazpacho”, I recommend accompanying it with crunchy muesli and flax and sunflower seeds! Enjoy your breakfast!Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
